Feed Hopper: Receives bulk material from the client (typically offloaded from trucks). Rod Gate & Feeder: Controls the material flow rate from the hopper. Metal Detector: Ensures no metallic contaminants enter downstream equipment. Belt Conveyor: Transports material horizontally or at an incline to the next phase. Crusher: Reduces material size if required for processing. Bucket Elevator: Vertically lifts material using buckets attached to belts or chains, delivering it into higher-level storage or silos. Interconnecting Chute: Directs material from elevator to storage. Storage Silo (with Bin Vent Filter, Slide Gate, and Blower): Temporarily stores bulk material, provides aeration, and controls dust. Line Injector/Rotary: Feeds material into the application process (e.g., boilers). The system is modular, facilitating the gentle, enclosed, contamination-free handling of products ranging from fine powders (like grain, flour, cement, chemicals) to granular or lumpy materials (such as aggregates or minerals).
Capacity: 135–3780 cubic feet per hour (custom ranges up to 1,700 m³/h) Bucket Widths: 200–1,200 mm (8–48 inches) Elevator Heights: 12–200 feet; conveying heights up to and above 150 m Bucket Materials: Polycarbonate, polyethylene, stainless steel, or custom alloys Chain/Belt Types: Rubber, PVC, polyurethane, mild/stainless steel chain Motor/Electrical: 460/230V 60Hz 3Phase (standard) Bucket Designs: Deep-drawn, fabricated, or plastic, chosen for strength and abrasion resistance Flow Rates: Typically range between 290 and 6929 cubic feet/hour, or 10–260 tons/hour Temperature Tolerance: Up to 130°C (special models for higher) Optional Features: Metal detection, dust filtration, multiple inlet/outlet, gentle handling, explosion-proof versions.
Food Processing: Transporting grains, flour, sugar, rice, coffee beans, cereals, and snacks Agriculture: Elevating seeds, fertilizers, animal feed, and harvested crops Mining & Minerals: Lifting ores, coal, limestone, sand, gravel, and other raw materials Cement & Construction: Handling cement, gypsum, aggregates, and sand Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industries: Conveying powders, granules, and pellets, ensuring product purity and containment Power Plants: Moving fuel materials (coal, biomass) to boilers Recycling & Waste Management: Handling glass, plastic, metals, and paper Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Vertical conveying of powders and granules The bucket elevator system is chosen for efficient, space-saving, and dust-controlled vertical transportation in both batch and continuous industrial processes, where height and throughput are critical.
